Music publishing in Leipzig. Local networks and international dissemination

自现代以来，音乐出版商在欧洲音乐文化中扮演着决定性(但往往仍被低估)的角色。除了主营业务(乐谱的制作和传播)外，他们还通过其节目政策、对作曲家的财政支持、出版大量音乐期刊和音乐书籍以及通过与其他音乐机构(音乐会和歌剧院、音乐协会、音乐学院等)建立联系来影响音乐生活(特别是曲目和作品经典的形成)。莱比锡是研究音乐出版商关键地位的理想场所。自1800年以来，德国音乐出版市场的一个重要集中发生在那里，导致发行结构、宣传策略、印刷技术和编辑原则的显著专业化。除了Breltkopf&Härtel(成立于1719年)，其他许多公司，如C.F.彼得斯(Muslque局)、Friedrich Hofmeister等，都建立了自己的公司，并很快开始主导国际市场。此外，来自其他城镇(德国和国外)的几家出版商在莱比锡雕刻和印刷他们的音乐。出版商为莱比锡这个成为资产阶级音乐文化典范的“音乐之都”的崛起做出了相当大的贡献。他们制作了著名作曲家作品的第一个完整版本，影响了Gewandhaus音乐会的节目，并发表了重要的音乐期刊，宣传和报道音乐会和新出版物。-但没有其他地方比莱比锡更戏剧性地展示了20世纪德国历史的巨大灾难(两个极权国家、第二次世界大战和国家分裂)是如何影响到数百年来的音乐市场网络，并最终导致德国音乐出版中心的严重地理转移。目前的集体出版物是第一次科学地全面展示莱比锡从16世纪开始到现在的音乐出版发展：基于基于许多新来源的案例研究，并从广泛的跨学科角度。特别注意音乐出版商和其他音乐机构之间的网络及其国际合作和竞争。这20篇文章来自音乐学家、历史学家、图书和媒体学者以及版权法历史学家。它们还包含有关曲目和与音乐出版有关的人员的大量文献资料。最后，该出版物还提供了莱比锡S的信息和摄影文件，该书拥有关于莱比锡音乐出版商的最重要的资料集合。

Since the modern era, music publishers play a decisive (and still often underestimated) role In European music culture. Apart from their main business (production and dissemination of scores), they Influence music life (and especially the formation of repertories and canons of works) also by their program policy, by their financial support of composers, by the publication of a huge part of music periodicals and books on music and by their networking with other music institutions (concert and opera houses, music societies, conservatories etc.). Leipzig is an ideal place to study the key position of music publishers. Since 1800, an important concentration of the German music publishing market took place there and led to a significant professionalization of distribution structures, publicity strategies, printing techniques and editorial principles. Apart from Breltkopf & Härtel (founded already In 1719), many other firms such as C. F. Peters (Bureau de Muslque), Friedrich Hofmeister etc. established themselves and soon began to dominate also the International market Furthermore, several publishers from other towns (In Germany and abroad) got their music engraved and printed in Leipzig. The publishers contributed considerably to the rise of the "music capital" of Leipzig that became a model of bourgeois music culture. They produced the first complete editions of the works of famous composers, influenced the programs of the concerts at the Gewandhaus and published important music journals that advertised and reported on concerts and new publications. - But no other place than Leipzig also demonstrates so dramatically how the great catastrophes of German history In the 20th Century (the two totalitarian states, the Second World War and the division of the country) affected the centuries-old network of the music market and finally led to a serious geographic removal of the center of German music publishing.The present collective publication is the first scientific overall presentation that portrays the development of music publishing In Leipzig from Its beginnings In the 16"" Century up to the present: on the basis of case studies founded on many new sources and from a broad Interdisciplinary perspective. Special attention is paid to the networks between music publishers and other music institutions and to their International cooperation and competition. The 20 articles stem from musicologists, historians, book and media scholars as well as historians of copyright law. They contain also extensive documentary material on repertories and persons related to music publishing. At last, the publication also presents Information on and photographic documents from Sächsisches Staatsarchiv Leipzig that holds the most important collection of sources on Leipzig music publishers.
